That's quite odd, and certainly confusing. I could see how different micro SD cards could have different performance characteristics (e.g. Class 2 vs. Class 4 cards) - but I'm having trouble grasping what would allow a functional SD card (I can see the card, and files/folders, using the File Manager app on the G1) to not work with regards to the upgrade?
As confusing as it may seem: My card is, in fact, different than the one Manacit shows above:
Instead of a SanDisk, my G1 came with a Transcend micro SD card:
Again, it seems quite strange that this would prevent the upgrade from occurring.
Just for clarity sake: I did NOT unzip the file prior to attempting - rather, I just renamed it to update.zip. The path, as seen in the Android File Manager application, is:
/sdcard/update.zip
Finally: Could anyone who has successfully completed the process please advise as to the setting of your:
Menu -> Settings -> SD card & phone storage -> Use for USB storage
option? Of course, this option needs to be enabled in order to "see" the device when connected to a computer, in order to copy the update.zip file into place. I subsequently tried the upgrade with this setting in either state - with similar results.
Just a thought: Are there md5 sums I can check for the download, to make sure it made it intact?
